Beautiful serene trail with a lake at the top, nestled between two peaks. The lake is stocked with cut throat trout, so bring fishing gear if you like.
The trail can be hiked from the highway, or you can mountain bike half way before it gets too rugged.
It is mountainous, so bears are a risk, though fairly low occurrence.

Photography Tips

Golden hour if you can. Panorama mode is good. Pack light.
